AG2712A: "THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER" BSOD

I am experiencing random computer restarts with the following error message: "THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER" There are lots of results that basically relate to graphics card. For instance: http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/04/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?c=us&l=en&s=gen&docid=584512#Error6 but updating drivers or even reinstalling windows completely clean doesn't help the issue.
For now I've disabled AMD video graphics card in the device manager which stopped random restarts, but that's obviously not fixing my issue just a temporary workaround because I can't use the card for gaming. MSI recently updated AMD drivers, perhaps it's causing it. I hope someone has some other suggestions I can try.

I am having the same issue. Blue screen and same error. I know its a driver issue for graphics because i cant even play titanfall because of it. I would like to know what you did to figure it out. Bceause i cant figure out any updates that work or any alternative. Please someone help.
First thing is create a ticket with MSI. The more people report the more likely MSI will look into this. Then simply download latest amd drivers. When doing install I unchecked everything except drivers. Also, I am using beta.

Kindly try to boot the system into Safe mode and then uninstall the display driver.
After this you should able too boot the system into normal mode. Download the latest driver from lenovo website

Igxprd 32, device driver stuck in an infinite loop

Just attempted to reset a hard drive on our T61 to its factory settings (Windows XP) using the "Recovery CD Set" (rescue and recovery cd, supplemental product recover cd, and 6 product recovery cd's). During the final step, the computer reboots itself; however, Windows can't load. I keep getting an error on a small blue screen, referencing a problem with "igxprd32" and that the device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. How can I fix this issue. (Product ID 6465CT0) Thank you!

Bluescreen reads "device driver stuck in continuous loop"

I have no knowledge of computers at all. I have had my laptop for about 18 months I purchased it new online while living in London and it has had this problem basically from the beginning but I was slack and didnt try to get it fixed on warrantee.
It will turn on and work for a random period of time (sometimes 10 mins and sometimes 2 hours) then suddenly the screen goes blue and it reads a lot of numbers (I can get these and write them if required) and states "device driver stuck in a continuous loop beginning dump of physical memory, contact manufacturer for update on device. . . ."
I have no idea what this means or what I should do/who I should ask etc.
Can anyone advise me please?

Hi!
Its not easy to say what is wrong.
First of all, which notebook do you have exactly?
In your position, I would first check the RAM. There are some special tools and I do this always with Memtest86.
You can download an ISO image to burn it on a CD from [www.memtest86.com]
Boot from CD and test your RAM, maybe you will get some errors.
You can also reinstall Windows with the recovery disk. It could be a software or driver issue.
If you have more questions, I will try to help you.
Bye

Continual reboot and device driver missing

Hi, I have a t400 installed with both win7 and ubuntu 11.04. The system suffers from continual reboot, basically when I shutdown the machine, it automatically and forcibly get rebooted.
I have followed some instructions on the web, and there is a device driver missing, which is PCI simple communication controller. I have tried download AMT package, which does not work for me. It gets stucked in a terminal saying that I need insert TN33, which I dont have. My t400 type is 7417. Any comments are appreciated.

hey tristartom,
continuous reboot occured after installing ubuntu yes ? could you remove ubuntu and have your unit on a mono-boot with windows and see if the same error occurs.
if it doesn't happen, then i suggest heading to Ubuntu forums or the Linux thread in this forum and check with other linux users if they have experience this same issue as you.

Itunes/Iphone/Ipod device driver issues - tried everything. Still not working.

After hours and hours of research, I'm completely stuck. Here's the basic problem.
When I plug in my Iphone to my laptop, windows pulls up a little window that says installing device driver software. After several minutes, the process fails and a message comes up that says windows found drivers for my device, but encountered an error and wasn't able to install them. In the device manager, the iphone is listed as an "other device" with a yellow triangle/exclamation point. Itunes never recognizes the device.
When I plug in my ipod nano 4th generation, the exact same thing happens, except it's listed in the device manager as an ipod. (same yellow triangle though.)
Up until today, both of these devices have been working properly, syncing without trouble. The iphone synced wirelessly and the ipod every time I plugged it in. I can't figure out what on earth happened to my laptop today that messed things up.
It's also worth noting that I have another older ipod nano... second generation, I think, that plugs in and is recognized immediately, works perfectly.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. I worked through every single troubleshooting guide that Apple has to offer. No change.
2. I did a complete clean install of itunes and all additional components, rebooted and reinstalled. No change.
3. I uninstalled/re-installed usb controllers in the device manager. No change.
4. reset both the phone and the ipod. No change.
5. I've tried various cables. No change.
6. I've run system checks and repair utilities for windows vista.
7. I've used selective start up to see if another program is interfering. I've stood on my head and counted to one hundred. I've only said seventeen swear words.
At this point I've done so much searching and troubleshooting, I can't imagine how anything is going to fix this issue. So this is my last hope. Please oh please be smart enough to tell me what to do...

Not sure if this is significant, but in a weird turn of events, when I tried plugging the ipod in this morning, the little message that pops up to install device driver software actually told me the drivers were installed successfully. However, in the device manager, it still says the drivers are NOT installed properly, the little yellow triangle is still there and the ipod still isn't registering in itunes, or my computer. So. Not really any improvement, but a different symptom none the less?
I'm desperate, guys. Someone help?

Can some one help me with diagnostic test result " apple mobile device driver not found"?

I bought an iPhone 4gs 32gb from Singapore. iso 4. I'm living in Chennai, India. To connect it to my computer (windows XP,), I have downloaded iTunes 10.6.1.7. Unfortunately iTunes is not recognizing my iPhone. I had tried to troubleshoot it by reinstalling iTunes (2 times). I have restarted the apple mobile device from control panel. I try connecting my iphone in another usb port. but no use. I don't know what am I missing?. iTunes opens on my computer. but doesn't recognize my device. when I click on help. it says an "unknown error has occurred. your computer is not connected to internet. please check your internet connection and try again later". I don't know what to do? could you please help me? thank you so much for your help and time.
when I update the usb driver (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.Double-click the usbaapl file.) I followed the procedure from this site. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 when I finished, it says "the specified location does not contain information about your software"

I have the same problem. I think that someone tried my iphone before me because when I want to reset it, I'm invited to enter a password that I didn't set. Also, when I go the Map application, the iphone indicate that I'm locateded in China while I'm in Tunisia. Now, I can't connect to my iphone to itunes, and I can't reset it because it ask me to enter a password that I didn't set.

VISTA - can;t find device driver for your IPOD - read the solution here!

It would appear that VISTA is rather stupid when it comes to the Ipod - it can't find the driver for itself. Do the normal autmatic way of trying to find the driver (that doesn't find the device) then look in the hardware device list (control panel) you should see you Ipod listed under other devices with a yellow triangle next to it. Right click this line and select "properties". then click "update device driver". Then, DON'T do the automatic find, instead click "I will choose the device from a list". Click on "storage device" and voila! VISTA now finds a USB mass storage device and installs it - JOB DONE! HOORAY!
good luck!
Mark.
Ipod 5G video colour Other OS WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE

When you are prompted to look for a driver input
C:\WINDOWS\System32 and browse it will find a generic
volume that fixes it.
I tried this as well. I can find a Generic Volume (I think it lists SD, MMC- neither of which seem correct), but neither of those helps. iPod still isn't recognized as a drive even in disc mode. I started another thread after not finding this one. I'm not sure why USB Mass Storage device isn't one of the options.

Device Driver Software for Zire Z22

I have a Zire Z22 palm unit and am using Windows Vista on a desktop computer. I have loaded the special Palm Desktop Software suggested for Vista. But, when I connect the Palm using the USB cable and hit the hotsync button I get a message that the device driver software must be installed. It tries to search for the needed driver, but doesn't find it, not even on the Palm software disk. Where can I find the device driver software to download so I can hotsync?
Post relates to: Zire

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
There are more than one kind of Vista...32 bit or 64 bit. If your Vista machine is 64 bit, you are limited to syncing via IR (infrared) beaming. Please review the threads "stickied" near the top of the Windows Hotsync board about syncing a Z22 with 64-bit Vista.
If your Vista desktop is 32 bit, you might need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall. Stickies have that information as well.
BTW, I am moving this thread to the Windows Hotsync board.

I updated Adobe Flash player and now each time I use Firefox for video get a serious error with blue screen of death pointing at device drive ati2dvag - BUT ok in IE 8

See above

I tried updating my ATI driver but I continued to have intermittent problems (system hangs and unexpected reboots) with current versions of Shockwave in Firefox - a right pain in the neck. I noticed that the date changed on the driver ... but not the version ... ??!!
So I am now back where I started (I rolled back the device driver):-
Shockwave Flash 10.1.102.64
ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, device driver version, 8.401.0.0 dated 27/07/2007.
Haven't the folks at Adobe/Firefox heard of 'backwards compatibility' ?!
It seems I am stuck now ... until a version of Flash comes out which addresses my specific problem ...
Does anybody have a solution ??
MANY THANKS!

Problem with a DDI Device driver for Solaris 8 and 9 on a Sun-Blade-1500

The problem has to do with dma allocated memory and the little-endian format.
When I copy blocks bigger than 256 bytes to the dma memory, using a uiomove() or bcopy(), the data after the first 32 bytes is swapped around over 8 bytes.
The bcopy from a driver (stack) buffer into the dma virtual memory has the same affect.
So it has to do with the kernel dma allocated memory and the endianess.
When I set the byte order to big-endian inside the ddi_device_acc_attr the data seems to be alright, also with bigger transfer sizes.
My device however needs the little-endian format.
I have the same the same device driver running without any errors on a Sun Blade-150 Solaris 8 for a long time now.
Can somebody please advise me?

PCI Memory card.
Problem: When driver moves more then 40 bytes via PIO from a PCI device memory card, the long words are swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater.
device memory description:
static ddi_device_acc_attr_t sdram_access_attr =
DDI_DEVICE_ATTR_V0, /* Boilerplate value */
DDI_STRUCTURE_LE_ACC,
DDI_STRICTORDER_ACC /* Don't reorder accesses */
The user application does a read call, which goes to xxread. xxread calls physio( xxstrategy, bp, dev, B_READ, xxminphys, uio );
In xxstrategy the transfer is done using
ddi_mem_rep_get8(ucb->ucb_sdram_accHndl,
(uint8_t*) kaddr,
(uint8_t*) raddr,
(size_t) bp->b_resid),
(uint_t) DDI_DEV_AUTOINCR );
PCI Device memory is loaded with incrementing address (8bit), 0,1,2... This is confirmed using a PCI Bus Analyzer.
A read of 36 bytes or less returns:
03 02 01 00 07 06 05 04 ...
A read of 40 bytes returns:
07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 ...
If I peek 1 byte at a time using ddi_get8(ucb->ucb_sdram_accHndl, ...) I get
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
Why are the long words swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater?

How do I install the Apple device driver on my laptop?

My iPhone 4 is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen and won't enter recovery mode after trying to update my phone to iOS 7.0.2. My laptop "can't find a device driver" and iTunes won't detect my phone at all, neither will my laptop. I need help with this problem. I have tried uninstalling the orginal device driver and I can't find a device driver downoad on Apple's website to replace it, so now I have no driver whatsoever. I have "held the home button down for about 15 seconds" whilst the phone was on and again while it was off. Is this a problem many people are having?
Many thanks, Joe

Hi there Joe Foxwell,

T500 Win 7 pro 64-bit drivers - hard drive device driver filename?

Hi,
I recently started an upgrade path with my T500.
I purchase a new 500GB western digital drive.
Now I need to gather all the win 7 pro 64-bit drivers for my T500.
I started the install of win 7 pro to see how far I could get, not far ... I am stuck currently searching for the proper device drive for my mass storage (which is NOT partitioned either - ideas on how to do that or should the win install program program give an option once I have the right driver(s)?)
Do you know what the proper T500 win 7 pro 64-bit driver is I need? I have tried a few with no luck yet.
Fun fun fun ...
Thank you.
- Spuds23

You shouldn't need any additional drivers to do an install of Win 7 on your T500. You might add drivers later, but the Win 7 installer should get the initial install done without adding anything. It certainly did on my T400.
You might try setting the BIOS AHCI setting back to SATA (or whatever the non-compatibility mode is called.) That shouldn't be necessary either, but it's worth a shot. For that matter, just do a reset of your BIOS and try from there.
BTW, once you have Windows installed, also install ThinkVantage System Update and use that to pull down the drivers and apps for your machine.

iPhone 4 / Windows 7 x64 / iTunes 9.2.1.5
My iPhone normally interfaces with iTunes on my PC via USB cable without issues.
iTunes prompts to update the iPhone when a new version of iOS is released. Each time, the update has failed as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275.
The update process stops, the "Connect to iTunes" screen is all that displays on the phone, and an utterly informative alert message comes up in iTunes along the lines of "Error 1602 (or 1604), The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred." Along with this, the iPhone ceases to be recognized as a USB device by Windows 7, with a little notification tray pop-up informing me that "Device Driver Software was not successfully installed". The iPhone no longer shows up as a device in iTunes.
The generic troubleshooting steps listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 (changing USB ports, changing USB cables, restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple software, etc., etc.) were a useless waste of time, but following the links for USB troubleshooting led to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
As instructed there, I located the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in Device Manager. It appeared listed as "Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB driver" with a yellow exclamation point; thus I attempted to reinstall the Apple Mobile Device driver. First I uninstalled the existing driver, then scanned for hardware changes, then tried to update the driver as described. However, the path where the driver files were supposed to be (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Driver) did not exist; the Driver folder was missing.
After Googling a little I came across http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1949672 and http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10806341. Following the instructions there, I was able to pull the device drivers (usbaapl64.sys, usbaapl64.cat, usbaapl64.inf and usbaplrc.dll) out of the iTunes installation program (from AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi, using WinRAR / Universal Extractor), put them in the previously nonexistent Driver folder and make Windows use the drivers.
Happily, this manual driver reinstall allowed Windows / iTunes to recognize the iPhone and proceed with the update / restore process. I had to repeat the driver reinstall process a couple of times during the iPhone restore - as it progressed, it kept switching the driver back to something nonfunctional - but the restore eventually went through, allowing me to keep my apps, data, history, etc. At least, until the next iOS update.

Hi liam3w,
Please try to reset BIOS, if problem remains, please kindly contact local lenovo for hardware inspection.
Please enter BIOS be pressing F1 in "ThinkPad Screen", F9, then F10.
